Got this roughly.
Upload passport and visa to website, get CAS then submit application. Evidence of passing also need to be submitted. Hope it helps.

Just sharing some of relative's experience on recent graduates as houseman.

Despite a lot of criticisms on some of those foreign universities, there are some graduates who are on par with some of the established universities locally. When you are smart, irrespective from where you graduate, you can still make it though through a much harder way of self learning and diligence and hardwork.

Yes, there are many incompetent ones around also and many of them also come from public universities and quite a number of them go missing once they clocked in. The competent ones are pushed to the max and the "captain" knows who are those who can work and rotate them accordingly with one of those misfits tagging along.

Despite oversupply situation, it seems that there is still a shortage of medical housemen and officers and many complaints of overworked.

Is being put on call 2 or 3 times a week considered overworked? (Start at 7am in the morning and off at 12 noon the next day). Maybe the older days it was tougher.

Mine will be paid on the last Wednesday of the month, August 30th.

Bolehland is better, into the bank account by the 22nd. Increment from the second year not adjusted yet due to "technical hitch" at HR. (Not that they don't have the money )

I am surprised UK is increasing the number of medical places for locals. I doubt there is a shortage but I think its the working conditions that need improvements to make doctors stay. Maybe the consequences arising from Brexit will make more doctors quit the UK.

If I am not wrong, sometime back they are also starting to recruit Filipino nurses due to the expected shortage of nurses in the next couple of years.

Did she get any clinical experience during the first year of the foundation year? I thought its mainly paper work in the first year. How would she be able to to work as an MO without the relevant housemanship experience. Its not so much on the exemption, its the competency that we are talking about.

MMC probably waived it because of the oversupply of graduate doctors now. I also wonder how she can perform her duties as an MO when she has only done 3 rotations as what you said.

I have 2 relatives as graduate doctors, one locally and one in UK. I would say that the housemanship training locally is so much more intense compared to what is in UK.

Its terrible at the big general hospitals. There are quite a number of graduate doctors but the competent ones are few and are push to the limits.

Yeah, compare to bolehland, its pretty decent in UK in Year 1 and the hours tend to be more or less fixed.

The only complaint I have is that if working on Sunday, the trains doesn't start running until 8.30 am. And the taxi fare is not cheap.

She pays 20 pounds one way. Will suggest her to use Uber.

About half an hour by train. Still staying at the same place.

Some have been posted to Aberdeen which is quite a distant away.

Hoping to get something nearer to City Centre next year.

yeah, it was very active when my relatives started their medical education. Thanks for sharing all the valuable inputs.

I think there is still a good future going forward for competent doctors. Private medical centres like Sunway are going through a rapid expansion and so are others like Columbia Asia.

Government hospitals and clinics are swarmed with people due to the higher cost of private medical care and the shrinking purchasing power. Despite the perceived oversupply of doctors, many doctors are still being pushed to the limits. Everybody wants an able assistant to save their own skin, and not much attention is paid to helping the less able ones. Basically what you learn in college will determine how good you are though they are exceptions.

I dread what will happen if the budget tomorrow makes further cuts to the healthcare sector.

Not sure more are applying this year in view of the drop the previous year as they think maybe easier to secure places this year.

Also top UK universities have done well in the ranking process this year.

Why do you want to apply for housemanship in the first place? Even for a JPA scholar, you need to apply nowadays.

For Malaysians in particular, Brexit or no Brexit, the working conditions in UK are better than what we have over here.

Anyway, its mere speculation from the survey and decisions can only be made after the Brexit. As it is, initially most of the banks are thinking about locating to Europe but the European Commission found out that that the plans only involve something like a representative office with most of the staff still locating in London.

London has always been a favorite place for migrants and investors and will remain so.

RM1M is not sufficient even for fees in UK now for most Universities. Maybe can do it at Queens.

Glasgow is about 42k pounds now per year for fees only. And Brexit seems to give the pound a lift.

Maybe opting for Sabah or Sarawak gets a higher chance of being absorbed into gomen service.

When I previously talk about ROI on my kids medical career, I was blasted and told not to look at that angle. They were correct and I agree with them.

Lawyers and engineers share the same situation as medical doctors. If you are good, have the networking and interact well, you will do financially well.

As for you, with an IT degree earlier and now with everybody talking about IoT, industry 4.0, blockchain and digital media, your options are much greater and you can find some spare time to enhance your earnings.

And as cybersetan says, when they discovered during housemen period, they are not made for medicine...you will wonder what's next

I still remember the night when the voting results came in causing the downfall of David Cameron.....I decided to hold on to the transfer of funds 2 days before it and took a bet....knowing its either going to RM7.00 or about RM5.00.....and I save quite a lot
Lucky but very high risk.

Yeah, OZ is very expensive now.

Once noble, now miserable

Those who can work are pushed to the limits, scolded, punished and blamed for lack of coverage and care while the non performers are left to rot and enjoy their carefree days until kingdom come. I blamed nobody but the rising cost of living and medical care has pushed many patients to gomen hospitals and clinics. To make it worse, a shrinking health budget is not helping.
